Several books on the Ananth Kumar's contribution to the BJP and state's growth will also be unveiled on the occasion.

The event will be organised at NMKRV Auditorium in Bengaluru, Karnataka. According to the sources, the participation of leaders in the event was an acknowledgment by the party towards the contribution made by Kumar over his years of association with the party during which he worked tirelessly for its growth.
